I came to the same conclusion this afternoon:

The advantage of the local railway for railfanning is that a train usually comes by every few minutes so all I had to do was find a nice enough vantage point...

Morning.
It is grey here . I'm in no rush to get up at the moment . I might go and make another .

Tea was disappointing this morning so I've moved onto coffee. It's working better.

It occurred to me that I haven't withdrawn any cash since before February. I've still got £57 in notes and coins. I reckon that might do me till the year's end.

Unusually, the race started on the half hour (1:30pm UK time) as opposed to the usual 3pm

Half an hour away from half distance.

I have and snacks.

Saved me the effort with the maths this morning.

Three hours & ten minutes of work attendance, two coffees, one banana and one custard cream completed.

(can you tell it's a quiet day?)

Le Mans done.

Streaming British GT from Donny

And about to tackle BTCC race 2 from Thruxton.

I've switched from tea to coffee as staying awake is becoming a challenge.

Oh Postman and Mrs P have volunteered to clean up a church building garden.Oh dear.We had not seen it before saying yes.So first sight oh my word.60' long 18' foot wide.Out of control greenery shambles rubble rubbish mess.I am 70 and this is the worst garden I have ever seen. no skips, so first half of the garden the mess is just stacked up against a wall.So that now means double handling.plus only six people to work the area we need twice that many..plus bad access means spade rake and cutting work only manual.it's going to take months as only Saturday afternoons are scheduled.oh dear.A mini digger would have been amazing.Just found out skips will be coming.As Postman and Mrs P fought against bonfiring it all. Not good for the neighbours or air quality.

Just come back from a ride over to my brother's . He wasn't there but I was ! I sat down and ate an apple while I rested . He didn't turn up so I left him the core to show I had been .
It is warm out and there is quite a bit of a breeze . Over 11 miles .

Oooooer, that Porsche Cup race was a puncturefest

Went for a short ride earlier, and in Riegel, a smallish town to the north of here, they were holding the "Riegel giveaway day": Everyone with stuff to give away had a table at the end of their drive and a standard sign, and children and families were going through the village looking at the offered freebies... Not sure about the social distancing, but it was very sweet.

We have that over here too. It's called the day before garbage collection, and the day of.
